If you genuinely don't see the issue with what's happening here then I'm not going to waste any more energy arguing with you. What they're doing here is dangerous, even if you're too blind to see it.

I'll wait to see how it ends up being implemented.

What I see here is certain groups wanting a specific agenda pushed (I'm guessing the group that wants reparations), and Florida is resisting that. And if they stick to keeping the narrative as neutral as possible, I'm on board. I'll keep an eye on the news for this coming school year and see if there's anything to truly worry about.

But what I see is teaching a broad curriculum covering a variety of aspects of the African slave era, celebrating accomplishments and detailing atrocities. I guess we'll see if teachers maintain that tone.
